and 9-3 SE IC's are different. Both the 9K and Viggen are cross-flow -- in other words they are designed to allow the air to enter in one end and exit the other. Bot the C900 and NG900/9-3SE's IC's have an internal "U-turn", which is not very efficient. But then poor plumbing up to and after the IC can also negate any benefit a good cross flow design may have.
The 9K IC generally is a very good design, especially because it has much more surface area to it. The internal individual piping may be smaller, but there are more of them, so the net effect is the same vulumetric efficiencies, but much more surface area to cool the overall system.
